I’ve seen Amelia’s website page and read it very carefully. This is what it entails, as I understand it.
1) Using Amelia as your agent, you have to sign up with GDI and pay them.
2) Amelia will get a commission from GDI.
3) Using GDI, you then have to create a website (like Amelia’s) and get people to use you as an agent to also sign up with GDI.
4) Those people pay GDI.
5) You get a commission.
6) Amelia also gets further commission from people you get to sign up.
7) You also get further commission from any people they sign up. So does Amelia.
…and so on.
Basically, people aren’t buying web space to use for legitimate business purposes. They’re buying it to sell it in the way they obtained it.
A good way to do this is to visit web sites (such as this Social Phobia one) and tailor the advert specifically for the intended audience (i.e. “Do you suffer from Social Phobia? This is an ideal way for you to earn some money…” etc). You could, in theory, target any disability site and word the advertisement accordingly.
Ultimately, isn’t this what they call Pyramid Selling?
If you believe that it is and would like more information on the dangers and potential illegality of Pyramid Selling please go to
